Fun with the spring compressor. 123 wagon

Pulled the front springs and bolted the wheels back on.

Bit too low? Note sarcastic icon.



Should be finished today.

So are you saying that stance is with no springs just to see what it looks like...or, what did you put in the front?

Seems like it should sit lower with out springs. That looks like a good stance to me.

The floor jack is located under the front crossmember with a 2x6 on the jack cup. If i let it drop all the way the tires would go all the way into the front fenders.

Oh, I think it looks pretty good at that level but for practical purposes it's too low.

I'm post finished pictures in a day or two.
